Colorado Rockies vs Cincinnati Reds Live Streaming . Extra-base hits are a big reason the NL Central-leading Cincinnati Reds are in position to sweep the slumping Colorado Rockies for the first time in four years. Rookie Travis Wood can complete the feat with his first win Sunday, when the Reds also try to create some breathing room in the tight division race. Cincinnati has won the first two games of this series by collecting 13 hits—eight for extra bases—after losing four in a row and getting shut out in the final two prior to the All-Star break. Four of the Reds’ five hits Saturday were homers as they beat Colorado 8-1. Colorado Rockies vs Cincinnati Reds Live Streaming . They’re now looking to sweep the Rockies for the first time since winning four games against them from July 13-16, 2006. Cincinnati had dropped 16 of 19 between the teams heading into this set at Great American Ball Park.

The Reds’ division lead is just one-half game on second-place St. Louis.

Colorado Rockies vs Cincinnati Reds Live Streaming .The rookie left-hander carried a perfect game into the ninth before giving up a hit. He struck out eight in nine innings before watching the bullpen falter in extra innings.

The Rockies have totaled three runs and nine hits in this series after posting a .341 average with 15 homers and 70 runs during an 8-2 run leading into the All-Star break.

Houston Astros vs Pittsburgh Pirates Live Streaming .As Roy Oswalt takes the mound for the first time since the All-Star break, he does so knowing his time with the Houston Astros could be coming to an end.

With the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline approaching, the 32-year-old’s tenure with the only major league team he’s played for could be ending, but he said he’s not thinking about that.

Toronto Blue Jays vs Baltimore Orioles Live Streaming .The Toronto Blue Jays are one of the worst hitting teams in the AL, but they have plenty of power to help compensate for those offensive deficiencies. The Baltimore Orioles don’t have that luxury. Toronto looks for its third straight three-game sweep of the Orioles on Sunday when these AL East foes conclude their series at Camden Yards. Toronto Blue Jays vs Baltimore Orioles Live Streaming .Despite hitting just .241 - second-lowest in the AL - the Blue Jays lead the majors with 139 homers. They have 24 homers while hitting the ball out of the park in 10 straight games. Toronto hit two in Saturday’s 3-2 win over Baltimore - a leadoff shot by Fred Lewis on the first pitch of the game and a two-run blast by Jose Bautista in the eighth inning. Baltimore, which is batting .258, has just 76 homers - among the fewest in the AL. The Orioles, though, are also scoring the second-fewest runs per game in the league and have averaged 1.9 runs in eight losses to Toronto this season.

Milwaukee Brewers vs Atlanta Braves Live Streaming .Emerging from the All-Star break with a seven-game homestand seemed like a good chance for the Atlanta Braves to extend their lead atop the NL East. After a rocky start, however, they’re in danger of losing only their second series at Turner Field. Derek Lowe will try to help the Braves salvage a split of this four-game set against the hot-hitting Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. Atlanta owns the best home record in baseball at 31-12, so returning from the All-Star break to host seven games looked like an opportunity to continue dominating opponents at Turner Field.

They fell 6-3 on Saturday as the Brewers erased a one-run deficit by scoring five in the seventh. Atlanta leads the division by 4 1/2 games on second-place Philadelphia. The Braves will now turn to Lowe to avoid losing a home series for the first time since dropping two of three to the Phillies from April 20-22.

Lowe, however, could use some help. The right-hander is 0-3 with a 2.88 ERA in his last four starts with all of them ending in Atlanta losses. The offense provided him with two total runs of support in that span. Milwaukee Brewers vs Atlanta Braves Live Streaming . Lowe was effective again last Sunday, yielding two runs in 5 1-3 innings while getting outpitched by Johan Santana in a 3-0 loss at New York. His previous outing six days earlier came opposite a five-hitter from Roy Halladay in a 3-1 loss at Philadelphia. Lowe is 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA in two starts against the Brewers, and he won’t have to worry about seeing an ace take the mound opposite him Sunday. The Brewers, who have won eight of 12 at Turner Field, are scheduled to give the ball to Manny Parra as he tries to rebound from his worst performance of the season. The left-hander was tagged for season highs of six runs and 10 hits in five innings of a 9-3 loss to San Francisco on July 8. He has a 7.47 ERA over his last three starts.

The San Francisco Giants are dominating this four-game series with the New York Mets behind strong pitching performances. Now, the Mets are hoping to get one of their own from ace Johan Santana. Some offensive support could help their cause. Santana looks to continue his masterful stretch Sunday in order to halt another New York losing streak as he takes the mound against the red-hot Giants. The Mets have batted .174 in losing the first three games of this series. That’s due in large part to some superb pitching efforts from the Giants, who had three starters combine to hold New York scoreless for the first 24 innings of this set before the string was snapped in San Francisco’s 8-4 win Saturday. Santana is familiar with the Mets’ offense coming up short. The lineup has provided him with six total runs of support over his last five games, but his dominant performances have helped New York escape with wins in his last two.

The two-time Cy Young winner has thrown 16 consecutive scoreless innings over those two games after going 2-4 with a 3.90 ERA in his previous 12. Santana yielded five hits in seven innings of a 3-0 win over Atlanta last Sunday. The victory kept the Mets from being swept in that three-game series, and the left-hander will try to play the role of streak stopper again. Santana is 2-0 with a 3.89 ERA in six games - five starts - against the Giants. He gave up four runs in 7 2-3 innings of the Mets’ 5-4, 11-inning win against them May 8. New York’s offensive struggles haven’t been helped by the continued absence of star shortstop Jose Reyes, who is not expected to return until Monday at Arizona after being slated to come back during this series.

After giving their ace a break following his latest All-Star game appearance, the Philadelphia Phillies are hoping Roy Halladay is ready to lead them back to the postseason. Halladay kicks off his second half by trying to beat the Chicago Cubs for the first time as the Phillies look to salvage a four-game split at Wrigley Field on Sunday night. Philadelphia acquired Halladay from Toronto in the offseason, with the veteran joining the two-time reigning NL champions in hopes of pitching in the postseason for the first time. Despite a strong first half from Halladay that earned him his seventh All-Star nod, the Phillies entered the break chasing both Atlanta and the New York Mets in the NL East. After Halladay made a brief appearance at the Midsummer Classic in Anaheim, Phillies manager Charlie Manuel opted to give him a few more days off before Sunday’s start.

Halladay’s seventh complete game came in a 3-1 win over Atlanta on July 5. He could have had his eighth if he’d gotten any run support five days later against Cincinnati. While Reds rookie Travis Wood flirted with a perfect game, Halladay threw nine dominating innings of his own, making it possible for Philadelphia to win 1-0 in 11. The Cubs are one of four major league teams Halladay has never beaten. He’s lost both of his starts against Chicago, including a 2-0 defeat with the Blue Jays in his only appearance at Wrigley on June 8, 2005. The Phillies dropped the first two games of this series, and were one out away from another defeat Saturday before Cubs closer Carlos Marmol blew the save. Marmol walked five in the ninth inning and Philadelphia scored four times to win 4-1. Placido Polanco’s two-out RBI single tied the game. The infielder was making his first appearance since June 25 after a stint on the disabled list due to left elbow inflammation.
